An intelligent, involving movie that is by turns a murder mystery and a politically charged argument about contemporary Palestinian identity. Tense and suspenseful while remaining smart and understated. Amin abandons the relative security of Israel, his adopted homeland, and enters the Palestinian territories in pursuit of the truth about a suicide bombing possibly perpetrated by his wife. Morally rich and engaging; a movie for grown-ups. Unlike movies that wash over you, "The Attack" insists that you look and listen.
